0:06
Speaker 2: the suburbs of Orange County.

Speaker 2: a lot of Tyler Hines lately, a.
1:10
Speaker 1: Lot of Tyler Hines thirsttrap photos being quested in the group.
1:15
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question, please, how hard was
1:18
Speaker 2: it to get into this first episode of a brand
1:22
Speaker 2: new series after just finishing the finale of the other
1:26
Speaker 2: series we were totally invested in. That's a good question,
1:30
Speaker 2: and I have two different answers. Okay, As a viewer.
1:35
Speaker 1: I didn't find it hard to get into. I did
1:37
Speaker 1: wait a full two days between watching The Way Home
1:41
Speaker 1: and Ride because The Way Home really stuck with me.
1:43
Speaker 1: I had a lot of thoughts. I was very invested
1:46
Speaker 1: in that show. But as a viewer, I found this
1:48
Speaker 1: easy to watch and get into. As a recapper, however,
1:52
Speaker 1: I owe you an apology me yes, because when we
1:56
Speaker 1: were discussing whether or not we should recap this series,
2:00
Speaker 1: I was like, ugh, recapping's easy. But I was at
2:04
Speaker 1: that point, eight episodes deep into a series where it
2:07
Speaker 1: had become very easy to talk about these people because
2:10
Speaker 1: I felt like I knew them right. And what I
2:14
Speaker 1: wasn't considering was the learning curve of a new series,
2:18
Speaker 1: a series that is based on a world I know
2:21
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing about. Oh you mean you knew? You knew
2:24
Speaker 1: that time travel though, but at least time travels made up. Yeah,
2:31
Speaker 1: there are people who are bull riding.
2:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, this rodeo world exists, and I would like to
2:37
Speaker 2: just preface before we even get into it, like, I
2:40
Speaker 2: know nothing nothing about bull riding rodeos, ranches, so you'll
2:47
Speaker 2: see I have a lot of like, oh, she's doing
2:49
Speaker 2: ranch things because I don't know what they're doing. I
2:52
Speaker 2: live in these suburbs of Orange County, like I have
2:55
Speaker 2: no freaking idea.
2:56
Speaker 1: Kind of like Dell doing farm stuff.
2:58
Speaker 2: Yes, it's not as disrespect, it's truly because I don't know.
3:03
Speaker 1: I agree. And the final thing I think that was
3:06
Speaker 1: different about this is the it's a deep cast, so
3:10
Speaker 1: we were really dealing with the way home, like three main characters,
3:14
Speaker 1: and we're dealing with a lot of people in this
3:17
Speaker 1: guest and learning their names, and there would be scenes
3:21
Speaker 1: and I didn't realize that's who that was like until
3:23
Speaker 1: someone would call them by their name. Like there some
3:28
Speaker 1: reason I have face blindness when it comes to tough.
3:30
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you that right now. Oh interested
3:32
Speaker 1: the scene until someone calls him tough, unless he's actively
3:35
Speaker 1: having a conversation with his mom or missy, like who's
3:38
Speaker 1: that guy singing on stage? So it will come. But
3:43
Speaker 1: it was a bit of a learning curve. It took
3:45
Speaker 1: me two hours to get my notes together for this.
3:49
Speaker 2: Me too, and I will tell you like in the
3:50
Speaker 2: opening scene, it took me so long and I had
3:54
Speaker 2: to look.
3:54
Speaker 1: I even write a note I go, there is so
3:56
Speaker 1: much dialogue in.
3:57
Speaker 2: The first forty seconds of the scene setting up who
4:00
Speaker 2: these people are and what they do, Like, it was
4:03
Speaker 2: very difficult, very difficult, I agree.
4:07
Speaker 1: With you, And I almost feel like I watched that
4:10
Speaker 1: scene five or six times. Yeah, me, and I kept pausing,
4:14
Speaker 1: and I kind of paired my notes down because I think,
4:17
Speaker 1: like there's so much scenes setting there, but it's hard
4:20
Speaker 1: to tell how much of the details are important.
4:24
Speaker 2: Right, So I will tell you that my notes as well,
4:27
Speaker 2: are kind of like heavily detailed at first, and then
4:29
Speaker 2: by the end of the episode it really pairs down.
4:32
Speaker 2: So I think going forward, hopefully it's like a more
4:36
Speaker 2: pared down version, closer to what we were.
4:38
Speaker 1: Doing on the way home.
4:40
Speaker 2: H especially after a pilot episode. Pilot episodes are so
4:43
Speaker 2: full with so much detail trying to get a better
4:47
Speaker 2: understanding of like what is to come, who these people are,
4:51
Speaker 2: And I personally hate pilot episodes, so.
4:55
Speaker 1: There's so much set up in so many characters, and
4:57
Speaker 1: so much we need to know going yeah, exactly, Well,
5:01
Speaker 1: are you ready to get into it? I am.
5:05
Speaker 2: Let me start with a episode synopsis, thank you, following
5:09
Speaker 2: a tragic event, a renowned Colorado ranching family must pick
5:13
Speaker 2: up the pieces to save their ranch. Let's talk about
5:17
Speaker 2: the cast for a minute. Okay, of course we have
5:20
Speaker 2: Nancy Travis. She plays Isabelle. She is the mom. Missy
5:25
Speaker 2: is played by.
5:28
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say her name is Tierras. Okay, we're gonna
5:31
Speaker 1: work on that. Pronuncia will work on that.
5:34
Speaker 2: Marcus Rossner plays Austin bo Mierkoff plays Cash. Jake Foy
5:41
Speaker 2: plays tough Sarah Garcia is Valeria, which is a name
5:45
Speaker 2: I'm gonna screw up all the time as well. Oh no,
5:48
Speaker 2: and then the only other person that I have listed
5:50
Speaker 2: right now. His name is Greg Lawson and he plays Hank,
5:54
Speaker 2: the rodeo announcer slash mayor.
5:58
Speaker 1: And I have some thoughts on the cast that gets
6:03
Speaker 1: named on IMDb as well as in the show. Mmm, okay,
6:08
Speaker 1: all right.
6:09
Speaker 2: The show opens with aerial views of McMurray ranch, and
6:13
Speaker 2: like I said, there's a ton of dialogue in this
6:16
Speaker 2: first whole scene, so buckle up, folks. It's a busy
6:20
Speaker 2: morning in the family kitchen and Missy's cookie breakfast, Isabelle's
6:24
Speaker 2: grabbing stuff from the refrigerator, and it walks Austin and
6:27
Speaker 2: he's talking about how he loves the smell of bacon
6:29
Speaker 2: in the morning, and I was like, kind of laughed
6:32
Speaker 2: because I was like, who doesn't, And I was like, oh,
6:33
Speaker 2: vegans probably don't, but okay, anyway, brother tough response by
6:39
Speaker 2: saying you never have a bacon on a ride day,
6:41
Speaker 2: and Isabelle greets Austin with this like big hug and
6:45
Speaker 2: says it's it's breakfast for my rodeo champion. Missy follows
6:50
Speaker 2: up with a rodeo pun about the food, and I
6:53
Speaker 2: was like, okay, we get it. They're they're rodeo people.
6:58
Speaker 2: Kind of the oh I liked the show. I'm not
7:02
Speaker 2: saying I didn't dislike this show, but I was like, okay, enough,
7:05
Speaker 2: like right, okay, But then it still goes on Valeria
7:11
Speaker 2: like stumbles out and she comes into the kitchen and
7:14
Speaker 2: comments about Austin and his game day process and Tough
7:18
Speaker 2: hands Austin a coffee where he refers to himself as
7:21
Speaker 2: his bull fighting little brother. So again, yes, we know
7:24
Speaker 2: you guys do this for a living. Isabelle then asks
7:28
Speaker 2: Missy about our suicide drag, which I.
7:30
Speaker 1: Had to google I did.
7:32
Speaker 2: I let's see no one's stunt in trick riding. So
7:37
Speaker 2: these are things that do not know, like does she
7:40
Speaker 2: just do tricks on horses or what's the story?
7:43
Speaker 1: Well, as a trick rider, yes she does tricks on horses.
7:47
Speaker 1: I haven't aside here. Okay, I used to go to
7:49
Speaker 1: horseback riding camp called raw Hide Ranch in soccer. Why
7:57
Speaker 1: does that seem like something I would do? Because it
8:00
Speaker 1: wasn't fancy modeling school too, so it wasn't fancy. Okay,
8:05
Speaker 1: it was in bondsall California. It still exists and I
8:08
Speaker 1: actually have been curious to look it up see what
8:10
Speaker 1: it costs now. But we while we were there, had
8:14
Speaker 1: to do a number of things, and by the way,
8:17
Speaker 1: every single person had a job. And my first year
8:19
Speaker 1: there at my job was scooping horse poop. Okay, there
8:21
Speaker 1: were a better job than that was mine. So every
8:24
Speaker 1: day twice a day anyway, One of the things we
8:27
Speaker 1: did was vaulting, which is gymnastics on a moving horse,
8:30
Speaker 1: and I thought, oho, is that what she's doing. But
8:33
Speaker 1: by the way I looked it up and trick riding
8:36
Speaker 1: and vaulting are two different things, which news to me.
8:40
Speaker 1: Vaulting is more gymnastics like dance and trick riding is
8:44
Speaker 1: done at a faster pace and includes more dynamic moves
8:48
Speaker 1: like hangs and falls, so she's really getting in there,
8:50
Speaker 1: which we'll see later in this episode.
8:52
Speaker 2: Who the hell comes up with this idea of like
8:55
Speaker 2: doing gymnastics on a huge moving animal.
8:59
Speaker 1: Here's my guest, Like, we got to have something for
9:01
Speaker 1: the ladies to do to a us, and that's what
9:04
Speaker 1: they came up with. How can they dance on a horse?
9:06
Speaker 1: You're probably they're right about that. That's funny, although does
9:12
Speaker 1: take quite a bit of athleticism to do these things
9:14
Speaker 1: on a horse that is actively moving. I've never even
9:18
Speaker 1: ridden the horse. No, never riding horses. Shockers, I had one. Okay, okay, yeah.
9:28
Speaker 2: Isabel tells everyone they're gonna do amazing today and Austin
9:31
Speaker 2: makes a snide comment about his absent brother Cash, and
9:35
Speaker 2: Isabel warns everyone not to pick on Cash when he's
9:38
Speaker 2: not there to defend himself. Next, we have Missy. She
9:42
Speaker 2: checks in on Austin to make sure he's doing okay
9:44
Speaker 2: before his big ride, and he practically dismisses her and
9:50
Speaker 2: then says to the family, who's ready to win the rodeo?
9:53
Speaker 1: And everybody hoots and hollers. Yeah. The most important thing
9:56
Speaker 1: in that opening scene to me is Jake being not
9:59
Speaker 1: Jake Austin being cagey and he gets a message. He's like, oh,
10:03
Speaker 1: it's fine, something's up, dismisses her. Something's going on. That's
10:08
Speaker 1: what they're establishing in addition to their family roles. We
10:11
Speaker 1: cut to the rodeo in Boulder, Colorado, and we hear
10:14
Speaker 1: Missy being introduced as former miss Rodeo Rocky Mountain, and
10:17
Speaker 1: we see what I have to assume as a stunt writer,
10:20
Speaker 1: but perhaps she is a trick writer herself. Hanging off
10:23
Speaker 1: the side of a horse to the song by Shania
10:26
Speaker 1: Twain giddy Up, which is a bop. I gotta say
10:30
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed that song and great music throughout the episode.
10:33
Speaker 1: I agree. Yes, big smiles, big cheers, everyone's having a
10:37
Speaker 1: good time.
10:39
Speaker 2: Can I point out here and this is not a digit,
10:42
Speaker 2: see that, but it is a digit? See that half
10:44
Speaker 2: of the arena where they were doing this was empty.
10:47
Speaker 2: Oh no, there was just people like on the one side.
10:50
Speaker 2: And watching the rest of the episode, I felt like
10:53
Speaker 2: this was might have been like a pickup scene that
10:55
Speaker 2: they went back and did because visually looked totally different
10:59
Speaker 2: than any thing else in the rest of the episode
11:01
Speaker 2: to me, Oh, interesting, but that's I have I know nothing,
11:05
Speaker 2: I know no details. I'm just telling you what I observed.
11:08
Speaker 1: I hear you. We cut to Missy riding her horse
11:11
Speaker 1: back into the holding stables behind the arena. Did you
11:15
Speaker 1: have to google that too? No?
11:17
Speaker 2: Oh, I just wrote stable because I didn't know it
11:19
Speaker 2: was like a holding stable. But that makes sense that
11:21
Speaker 2: it's a holding stable behind me.
11:23
Speaker 1: Well, like those horses don't live there. Yeah, no, no,
11:25
Speaker 1: of course, and someone waves at her and we see
11:27
Speaker 1: her looking shocked. She dismounts her horse, runs over and
11:30
Speaker 1: gives Cash a big hug, says how great it is
11:32
Speaker 1: to see him, and he asks how everything is, and
11:35
Speaker 1: Missy hesitates before saying it's fine. He apologizes for leaving,
11:40
Speaker 1: and when we find out why he was gone in
11:42
Speaker 1: a minute, I think it's odd that he apologizes. I
11:45
Speaker 1: think he apologies for leaving the way that he did.
11:48
Speaker 1: Macy says she can't do this right now, and then
11:50
Speaker 1: Cash says something up with Austin, and she hesitates and
11:53
Speaker 1: in comes Austin, accusing Cash of trash talking him to
11:56
Speaker 1: his wife. So there is no love lost between these
11:58
Speaker 1: two brothers in this moment.
11:59
Speaker 2: There's some real big dick energy in the scene, right.
12:04
Speaker 1: You know. Cash says it's not like that, and off
12:08
Speaker 1: goes Austin and Missy hesitates before chasing after him.
12:11
Speaker 2: Next thing, we have Isabel and val Laria in the
12:15
Speaker 2: stands and Isabel points out a dude named JB. We'll
12:18
Speaker 2: know more about him later. He is someone who is
12:21
Speaker 2: currently sponsoring Austin as a writer. I'm guessing he's like
12:25
Speaker 2: an investor.
12:26
Speaker 1: Right, well, I think he's like the Jean's brand guy. No,
12:30
Speaker 1: he is the jeans brand guy.
12:32
Speaker 2: But I think he has invested in like Austin as
12:38
Speaker 2: a writer or sponsoring him or whatever. He gets paid.
12:43
Speaker 2: Austin gets paid by this guy. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, okay.
12:46
Speaker 2: Missy joins Isabel and Valeria in the stands and justin
12:49
Speaker 2: Valeria gets a.
12:50
Speaker 1: Text and she bounces.
12:52
Speaker 2: Cash taps Isabel on the shoulder from behind, and he
12:55
Speaker 2: surprises his mom that he's back.
12:57
Speaker 1: More big hugs. We see Valaria and Austin talking and
13:01
Speaker 1: Austin says, you can't tell anyone about this, and then
13:04
Speaker 1: we cut away. Presumably he tells her something and inside
13:07
Speaker 1: the stadium they're announcing Austin's ride. Outside, we see Austin
13:11
Speaker 1: once again asking for help, saying I know your secret
13:14
Speaker 1: to Valeria, but we don't know what he needs help
13:17
Speaker 1: with or Valeria's secret at this moment, and there's kind
13:20
Speaker 1: of like a cagey looking dude off in the distance
13:22
Speaker 1: looking on. We see Austin arrive in the rodeo ring
13:26
Speaker 1: all BD once again, and Varia drives off with a
13:30
Speaker 1: truck and a trailer, and we learn in this moment
13:33
Speaker 1: that Cash has been overseas, he's back from a deployment.
13:35
Speaker 1: And Austin shouts out his family, his mom, his wife,
13:39
Speaker 1: and his little brother Tuss. And we learn also in
13:42
Speaker 1: this moment that Austin's dad has passed and he himself
13:45
Speaker 1: was also a great bull rider. And is now the
13:48
Speaker 1: time where I tell you how deeply uncomfortable but writing
13:53
Speaker 1: makes me me too. I'm glad you said something. What
13:57
Speaker 1: makes you? What makes it uncomfortable for you? I don't
14:00
Speaker 1: like animals being put in a position where they're working
14:04
Speaker 1: for entertainment. Yeah, I mean neither. That makes me uncomfortable.
14:08
Speaker 2: I am going to agree with you. And this is
14:12
Speaker 2: where I also have to say, like, I know nothing
14:14
Speaker 2: about nothing, and I know this is a lifestyle for people,
14:18
Speaker 2: so I can respect that. However, it makes me uncomfortable
14:23
Speaker 2: as well.
14:24
Speaker 1: Yes, you don't know what you don't know, but that's
14:27
Speaker 1: where I am.
14:28
Speaker 2: Can I also point out I was a little bit
14:31
Speaker 2: surprised about all the protective equipment bull riders wear these days.
14:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, when I saw the helmet, I was shocked.
14:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, because the only like rodeo type movie, it's called
14:44
Speaker 2: eight seconds. I wasn't gonna carry in it.
14:48
Speaker 1: He's not wearing a helmet.
14:49
Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever actually seen it. I don't
14:53
Speaker 2: think I've seen it, but he doesn't wear a helmet
14:55
Speaker 2: in it, like I wonder when that was introduced. And
14:58
Speaker 2: I'm guessing this because of concussion and whatever.
15:00
Speaker 1: You know, so sure interesting bucked off the bowl land
15:03
Speaker 1: on your head. Yeah, Austin is being prepped for his ride.
15:07
Speaker 1: Obviously there's a lot going on that I could not
15:09
Speaker 1: begin to describe. But there's, you know, the wrapping of
15:12
Speaker 1: the ropes and all of this, and he says, let's go, boys,
15:14
Speaker 1: and off goes the bull and we see shots of
15:17
Speaker 1: what looks like a rough ride. Although I imagine every
15:19
Speaker 1: bull ride is a rough ride. We see Isabelle and
15:22
Speaker 1: Cash looking nervous, We see shots of the seconds ticking
15:26
Speaker 1: down on the clock, and then a horrifying fall, shocked
15:30
Speaker 1: and horrified looks all around, and the opening title ride roll. Okay, listen.
15:36
Speaker 2: I've watched this scene over and over again and there
15:40
Speaker 2: was far too many squishing noises that I heard and
15:44
Speaker 2: like coupled with everybody's reaction and like a man yelling
15:47
Speaker 2: good amount of there. And I was like, but I
15:51
Speaker 2: have a question for you.
15:52
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. I had saw spoiler before watching this. M
15:58
Speaker 1: mind you.
15:58
Speaker 2: I had no idea who any but he was when
16:00
Speaker 2: I saw the spoiler, and they were like, they killed
16:04
Speaker 2: off Marcus Rossner, Like, apparently he's like a big deal.
16:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have some additional information about that. Help me.
16:12
Speaker 1: Marcus Rossner posted either a video or an Instagram story
16:15
Speaker 1: after the premiere of this episode, saying how surprised he
16:18
Speaker 1: was by the Hallmark fan support and how disappointed everyone was.
16:22
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a Hallmark actor. He's what he said
16:25
Speaker 1: was obviously Austin dies with some secrets and so while
16:32
Speaker 1: you won't be seeing me in the way you might
16:35
Speaker 1: have wanted, you might be seeing me in some ways
16:38
Speaker 1: you haven't expected, like flashbacks what Folly said, I have
16:41
Speaker 1: to assume it's flashbacks. So okay, I don't think we've
16:44
Speaker 1: seen the last of Marcus Rossner, but I will say
16:47
Speaker 1: it is clear he is not the leading man of
16:51
Speaker 1: this show.
16:52
Speaker 2: Well, I think Bo Murkoff is.
16:55
Speaker 1: No.
16:56
Speaker 2: I think so too, And I'm gonna say brava to
16:59
Speaker 2: the casting because these three dudes definitely look like brothers.
17:03
Speaker 2: I think Bo Mierkoff is a real wowie's auie.
17:07
Speaker 1: Oh me too. I think he's super cute.
17:11
Speaker 2: Like you said, we have the opening title, and then
17:14
Speaker 2: it is one year later in time and we have
17:18
Speaker 2: views of the McMurray ranch again, and my husband was watching.
17:21
Speaker 2: He goes, wow, this is a real knockoff of Yellowstone.
17:24
Speaker 2: He's like, it looks the same way.
17:27
Speaker 1: Every article is like Hallmarks. I'm a Shallowstone. I'm Baan
17:30
Speaker 1: murdis Yellowstone. Yeahugh.
17:32
Speaker 2: Missy wakes up. She's in bed alone and looks over
17:35
Speaker 2: to a photo of her and Austin and there's a
17:37
Speaker 2: ring band hanging from like a necklace.
17:39
Speaker 1: Over their photo together.
17:41
Speaker 2: Isabelle is downstairs looking through the mail and she gives
17:44
Speaker 2: this huge sigh. Tough comes in for coffee into the
17:48
Speaker 2: kitchen and he picks up the letter that Isabelle was
17:51
Speaker 2: looking at and we see it's a notice of foreclosure.
17:55
Speaker 1: And more great music plays in this scene. It is
17:57
Speaker 1: You're Not Alone by Alison Russell and Brandy, which made
18:00
Speaker 1: me want to open a Brandy Carlisle playlist. I gotta
18:03
Speaker 1: tell you. We cut to Cash doing something angrily with
18:06
Speaker 1: the rope and asks a ranch hand how Cash is doing,
18:12
Speaker 1: and it would appear that Cash is not talking a
18:14
Speaker 1: lot this ranch hand. I have a question for you. Okay,
18:18
Speaker 1: did you ever hear him named? Never? He is not
18:22
Speaker 1: listed in IMDb. Noticed he's in a number of scenes.
18:27
Speaker 1: He has lines. There's a scene at the end of
18:29
Speaker 1: the episode where he and all the lead young folk
18:32
Speaker 1: are walking together. They never give him a name throughout
18:37
Speaker 1: this episode that I can find, and I've got to say,
18:40
Speaker 1: it's rubbed me the wrong way.
18:42
Speaker 2: It's because he's a person of color. It's real glaring
18:45
Speaker 2: because it's a person of color.
18:47
Speaker 1: Now, Tough later in this episode will say ranch hands
18:49
Speaker 1: come and go. That wasn't about this particular man. But
18:55
Speaker 1: this guy's clearly part of the family, and so he's
18:59
Speaker 1: a key part of Cash's riding team. I just give
19:02
Speaker 1: him a game, please. I was all you had to
19:05
Speaker 1: do was say, like, how's he doing, George? Yeah, totally, totally.
19:09
Speaker 1: I agree. It bothered me too. Yep, you're not alone.
19:13
Speaker 1: Missy approaches Cash and they have a bit of a
19:15
Speaker 1: stilted conversation about the upcoming ride, and she says, no
19:17
Speaker 1: one will blame you if he's not ready, and he disagrees.
19:21
Speaker 1: She says, to do it for you, not for them,
19:23
Speaker 1: and he says, around here, there's no difference. He's really
19:26
Speaker 1: taken on the weight of keeping the ranch alive through
19:31
Speaker 1: his writing. He asks if she wants to watch him ride.
19:35
Speaker 1: It seems like a bit of a concession to her,
19:38
Speaker 1: a little softening, and she hesitates but agrees and tosses
19:42
Speaker 1: him his helmet and says, it's all mental now. And
19:45
Speaker 1: I wonder if you had watched your husband die as
19:49
Speaker 1: the result of a bull ride, would you ever want
19:52
Speaker 1: to watch it again or is it just something you've
19:54
Speaker 1: accepted as this is an incredibly dangerous job, and I
19:58
Speaker 1: am aware that that was one of the risks.
20:00
Speaker 2: Well, that's a good question, because at the end we
20:03
Speaker 2: also learn that their dad died the same way, So
20:07
Speaker 2: the mom is watching her sons do the same thing
20:10
Speaker 2: her husband did and died that way.
20:12
Speaker 1: So and the mom is much more hesitant than Missy is.
20:16
Speaker 1: Oh sure, Tough sends in the ranch, had to help
20:20
Speaker 1: Cash Cat gets on the ball and Missy joins Tough
20:22
Speaker 1: at the gate to watch, and he asks if she's
20:24
Speaker 1: giving him writing pointers, and she just says she needs
20:27
Speaker 1: to feel like everyone is okay before she goes, and
20:30
Speaker 1: Tough seems surprised that she's planning to leave, and she says,
20:33
Speaker 1: you know, I've been restless, and I don't envy her
20:35
Speaker 1: position as the daughter in law whose husband is no
20:38
Speaker 1: longer alive and maybe feeling like you have a responsibility
20:43
Speaker 1: to the family, but also like this isn't your home,
20:45
Speaker 1: and m she's restless and her next big thing is
20:48
Speaker 1: going to be a Jean's brand ambassadorship. She's Wow, the
20:51
Speaker 1: next rodeo. I didn't see that coming. She says she
20:57
Speaker 1: has to move on, and Tough insists that she's family,
21:01
Speaker 1: and off goes Cash and doesn't make it the full
21:04
Speaker 1: eight seconds, but everyone seems pleased with this ride. Closing
21:07
Speaker 1: out the scene, Missy and Tough see isabel working the
21:09
Speaker 1: ranch and they kind of comment about how she's going
21:14
Speaker 1: to work herself into the ground, and Tough hand to
21:16
Speaker 1: Missy the foreclosure notice, lets her know what's happening, and
21:19
Speaker 1: then we cut to commercial That's right.
21:21
Speaker 2: And then when I returned, Isabelle is getting out of
21:23
Speaker 2: the tractor and Tough confronts her about working and then
21:26
Speaker 2: about the foreclosure letter, and she tells him that she's
21:29
Speaker 2: going to handle it like she always says, and they
21:31
Speaker 2: have a nice moment here talking about how life is
21:33
Speaker 2: supposed to work out, and we transition to the next
21:36
Speaker 2: scene where Missy then confronts Isabelle Isabelle about the ranch
21:40
Speaker 2: being in trouble, and Isabelle blows off Missy bit. Missy
21:43
Speaker 2: asks if if she remembers how much they used to
21:45
Speaker 2: talk after Austin's death, and Isabelle shares here that she's
21:50
Speaker 2: been grieving and there are so many daily reminders about Austin,
21:56
Speaker 2: and Missy wants to know if if she herself remains
22:00
Speaker 2: to be like a daily reminder that Austin has gone,
22:03
Speaker 2: and Isabelle assures her that they don't expect Missy to
22:07
Speaker 2: give up her life for their family.
22:09
Speaker 1: So this seems to be the only one who feels
22:10
Speaker 1: that way quick frankly.
22:12
Speaker 2: Right, but it's a real like one eighty at the
22:14
Speaker 2: end here.
22:15
Speaker 1: But yeah, on the way to the rodeo, Missy spots
22:19
Speaker 1: something off to the side of the road and pulls
22:20
Speaker 1: off at the Canyon Grocery because she recognizes the truck
22:23
Speaker 1: and trailer. Out of the grocery store comes Valeria, and
22:26
Speaker 1: Missy is shocked to see her. And by the way,
22:28
Speaker 1: she looks great in this rodeo queen outfit, that's what
22:31
Speaker 1: I'm calling it approaches. Valaria says, what are you doing here?
22:34
Speaker 1: And we learn in this moment that Valeria and Missy
22:37
Speaker 1: were best friends and Valeria has not been in touch
22:40
Speaker 1: since she rode off into the dust at Austin's request.
22:46
Speaker 1: Vlaria says she has her reasons and says, tell Isabelle,
22:50
Speaker 1: I miss her, and Missy says, if that were true,
22:52
Speaker 1: you'd tell her yourself. And I just wonder, why is it,
22:55
Speaker 1: Missy saying what were your reasons? What could have been
22:58
Speaker 1: so important? Where were you going? I just don't know
23:01
Speaker 1: why you don't push this further, Yeah, because I think
23:04
Speaker 1: in real life people would follow up with questions like
23:07
Speaker 1: what the hell are you talking about? Where have you been?
23:09
Speaker 1: And why are you back?
23:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, well she's back because she's riding again.
23:14
Speaker 1: Or what does she do? She does something with barrels. Yes,
23:18
Speaker 1: I don't. You're a writer. I don't know what that means,
23:20
Speaker 1: do you. It's kind of like an obstacle course situation. Okay,
23:25
Speaker 1: all right, so now you're apologizing. I'm not trying to
23:27
Speaker 1: diminish this mean either I can describe it. Okay. Next
23:33
Speaker 1: we show or that.
23:34
Speaker 2: It says that they're at the Boulder Rocky Mountain Rodeo
23:38
Speaker 2: and Missy approaches a man named mister Wooten.
23:41
Speaker 1: It's JB.
23:42
Speaker 2: Wooten, we saw him earlier. She pitches him on being
23:45
Speaker 2: the new brand ambassador for his Gaen company, and he
23:47
Speaker 2: tells her that the job's at Houston, but she's all in.
23:50
Speaker 2: And I'd like to tell you that to be a
23:52
Speaker 2: brand ambassador, you do not let need to live in
23:54
Speaker 2: the city.
23:56
Speaker 1: Seriously, it's all on the internet and nobody's actually taking
23:59
Speaker 1: the stage. Photos we will see later, but yes, exactly,
24:03
Speaker 1: photographers and every city man. Next we are.
24:06
Speaker 2: Introduced to Janine and her dad Hank. They're hanging out
24:11
Speaker 2: and Cash and isabel joins them, and Hank tells isabel
24:15
Speaker 2: he's concerned about how she's doing. He goes on to
24:17
Speaker 2: say that the McMurray ranch and bull riding are the
24:20
Speaker 2: hallmark of their community and really wants to see Cash
24:23
Speaker 2: out there writing, and he tells.
24:25
Speaker 1: Them that JB.
24:26
Speaker 2: Wooten is really interested in meeting Cash and maybe sponsoring him,
24:31
Speaker 2: and Isabelle is fully annoyed at this conversation. She says
24:35
Speaker 2: her son is not for sale, but Cash sitting there
24:37
Speaker 2: is like, well, the money will help the ranch out,
24:41
Speaker 2: so he's into it.
24:43
Speaker 1: Yeah. I have to say that I was a little
24:45
Speaker 1: slow on the uptake and didn't understand until later in
24:48
Speaker 1: the episode Isabelle's reluctance to get a sponsor for Cash.
24:52
Speaker 1: I understand it now, but I was like, what's her problem? Like,
24:57
Speaker 1: if he's writing, why not get him sponsored? I get
24:59
Speaker 1: it right, But we cut to Missy taking photos with
25:02
Speaker 1: a young cowgirl whose uncle hits on her and the
25:06
Speaker 1: uncle is very cute. Missy get it, and we learned
25:10
Speaker 1: that Janine is a mean girl and she's talking to
25:13
Speaker 1: some other girls saying, look at the grieving widow flirting
25:15
Speaker 1: at the same rodeo or husband died at and In
25:18
Speaker 1: calls Tough to call her on it. We learn that
25:21
Speaker 1: some sour grapes here. Tough says her dad's been pushing
25:24
Speaker 1: her to marry a mc murray. He wants a part
25:26
Speaker 1: of that McMurray legacy. And Missy took Janine's place, and
25:31
Speaker 1: apparently she's got her eyes on Cash now that Austin's gone,
25:34
Speaker 1: and Janine shoots a low blow it Tough when she says, well,
25:37
Speaker 1: Cash is the only one left because you're off chasing cowboys,
25:39
Speaker 1: and she doesn't say it in a nice way, and
25:42
Speaker 1: he says, oh, they chase me, darling, which is more
25:44
Speaker 1: than I could save for you. And incomes Tough as
25:48
Speaker 1: my number one, you know, me of the week the week, Yes,
25:53
Speaker 1: with a burn. I loved it. I love it.
25:56
Speaker 2: Next we have Hank and Jab and they're trying to
25:59
Speaker 2: wheel and deal with, you know, sponsoring Cash, and Cash says, hey,
26:04
Speaker 2: I'll prove myself I'm a worthy rider. And but Jamie's
26:07
Speaker 2: a little bit anxious to you know, he he wants
26:11
Speaker 2: to see him ride before he decides to sponsor him.
26:14
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, I mean anybody would.
26:17
Speaker 1: No, Yeah, I think that's reasonable. Yeah. Isabelle's putting the
26:21
Speaker 1: brakes on all of this though, and we in the
26:23
Speaker 1: next scene, it seems that we're back at the ranch.
26:26
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, we see she does. Yeah, it's kind of
26:30
Speaker 1: where they drive in and out to Boulder every day
26:32
Speaker 1: of the rodeo. I you know, so it seems that way.
26:36
Speaker 1: We see shots of Austin's writing memorabilia and Isabelle's having
26:39
Speaker 1: a moment and she sweeps a pile of buckles to
26:41
Speaker 1: the floor, and we see Valeria in the room behind her.
26:46
Speaker 1: Both women look a little shocked, and we cut to commercial.
26:50
Speaker 2: When we come back, Isabelle and Valeria talking and Missying
26:54
Speaker 2: Tough walk in. Surprised to see Valeria there. Tough asks
26:59
Speaker 2: why she left, and Valaria says she can't talk about it.
27:02
Speaker 2: It's plain and simple. I can't talk about it. Isabel's
27:05
Speaker 2: cold to Valeria's offer to help, but then she welcomes
27:08
Speaker 2: her to stay in her old room if she wants to.
27:11
Speaker 2: So it was interesting to me here that Isabelle is.
27:16
Speaker 1: Not happy with Valeria. Mm hmm. And I was like,
27:20
Speaker 1: how does Valeria's roll like?
27:22
Speaker 2: She was Missy's best friend, but she lived there at
27:25
Speaker 2: the ranch with them, like she had a friendship with Isabelle, Like, well.
27:30
Speaker 1: She was a ranch hand too, she worked at the
27:32
Speaker 1: ranch as well.
27:34
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't realize she was like an actual official
27:38
Speaker 2: ranch hand.
27:39
Speaker 1: Because later in the episode, Tough is talking to Valeria
27:43
Speaker 1: and he's like, ranch hands come and go, but you
27:45
Speaker 1: were never just that's to us. So I'm not sure
27:49
Speaker 1: that every ranchand lives in the house, but I think
27:50
Speaker 1: a ranch hand who was also the best friend of
27:52
Speaker 1: your son's wife maybe gets a space in the house. Yeah,
27:56
Speaker 1: but I don't think we fully know what she was
27:58
Speaker 1: to them.
27:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not really sure, you know, I gotta tell you.
28:01
Speaker 2: Like when the episode first started, I thought she was
28:03
Speaker 2: somebody's girlfriend, yeah, or almost even like a little sister.
28:07
Speaker 2: It was kind of unclear to me her place until
28:10
Speaker 2: she and Missy have that interaction outside the market.
28:13
Speaker 1: I didn't realize she was Missy's best friend, right we
28:16
Speaker 1: cut to an outside scene. I just have to say
28:18
Speaker 1: I am exhausted by their schedule events the Thornio weekends.
28:21
Speaker 1: They're so busy. I'm like a long day and night.
28:24
Speaker 1: I know.
28:25
Speaker 2: I was like, do they ever just like kick back
28:26
Speaker 2: and watch TV? Now they're having enough fire outside like.
28:29
Speaker 1: Jeez tough to playing guitar, and he says he's not
28:34
Speaker 1: asking Valaria more about where she's been because it's not
28:36
Speaker 1: his business. And I beg to differ, but all right,
28:39
Speaker 1: I'm nosy. I gotta know. Missy tell's tough about the
28:41
Speaker 1: test shoot she has coming up and about her plans
28:44
Speaker 1: to move to Houston, and he does not want her
28:47
Speaker 1: to tell Cash because he thinks it's gonna mess with
28:49
Speaker 1: him mentally. He says he's writing so well because Missy's there,
28:53
Speaker 1: and she says, I can't stick around just for cash.
28:57
Speaker 2: Hank and Isabel are talking in the stable about their
29:01
Speaker 2: talk with JB, and Isabel tells Hank he needs to
29:06
Speaker 2: back off, but he's worried about her losing the ranch
29:09
Speaker 2: and how the whole town depends on their family, and
29:12
Speaker 2: she says, adamantly, this company has owned us for too
29:16
Speaker 2: long and I'm not giving them another son. So Hank
29:21
Speaker 2: then proposes another option to help them out of debt,
29:25
Speaker 2: but she warns, I'm sorry. He warns Isabelle that she
29:28
Speaker 2: won't like it.
29:29
Speaker 1: We cut back to Cash drinking around the fire. Missy
29:31
Speaker 1: approaches him and they talk about him having trouble Sleeping.
29:34
Speaker 1: I have it in my notes that when you Need
29:36
Speaker 1: It by Tanil Towns is playing in the background. Cash
29:39
Speaker 1: tells her he's going to be a great writer because
29:41
Speaker 1: writer is the only time his brain is quiet and
29:44
Speaker 1: he feels like he has nothing to lose. It's fully
29:46
Speaker 1: focused when he's writing. Missy reminds him there's a ranch
29:49
Speaker 1: toost people who love him. And they're really sharing a moment.
29:53
Speaker 1: She says, a happy bull writer is a safe bull writer.
29:56
Speaker 1: They both agree that they're happy. Now they share another look.
29:59
Speaker 1: They almost kiss. It was real disappointed that they didn't,
30:02
Speaker 1: because at that moment was nice. And then Missy says
30:06
Speaker 1: we should go big day and off she goes. It
30:08
Speaker 1: breaks you a commercial.
30:09
Speaker 2: But Missy comes back and she's modeling at her test
30:12
Speaker 2: shoot in Houston.
30:13
Speaker 1: Wait is she in Houston? I don't think the test
30:17
Speaker 1: shoot was in Houston because I don't think she could
30:19
Speaker 1: have gotten back. I wondered the same thing, but I
30:21
Speaker 1: think the test shoot was local.
30:23
Speaker 2: So she's, you know, modeling the jeans and uh, I
30:28
Speaker 2: don't know who an assistant or photographer or whatever. It's like, hey,
30:31
Speaker 2: do you want to see this mock up? The campaign
30:33
Speaker 2: and it features Austin Legends Never Die, and then there's
30:37
Speaker 2: like a little picture of Missy and her jeans, and
30:40
Speaker 2: you could see Missy's disappointed.
30:43
Speaker 1: I hate this so much. I didn't have to tell you.
30:45
Speaker 1: Tell me why this giant photo of Boston and the
30:49
Speaker 1: tiny picture of her, like I would feel so diminished
30:54
Speaker 1: in this moment. Who's selling the jeans here my dead husband,
30:58
Speaker 1: which is kind of a gross thing. I don't know
31:00
Speaker 1: Legends Never Die. I would need to ask permission to
31:04
Speaker 1: use that. But maybe this goes back to Isabelle's thoughts
31:07
Speaker 1: about them owning her family. Anyway, I just didn't like it.
31:10
Speaker 1: I thought it really diminished Missy in this moment. I agree.
31:13
Speaker 1: Back at the ranch, they're hurting cattle into a pen
31:17
Speaker 1: and Valeria rides up to Tough and this is when
31:20
Speaker 1: he kind of gives her a hard time. He says,
31:22
Speaker 1: ranch hands come and go, but you were always more
31:24
Speaker 1: than that. And in spite of what he said in
31:27
Speaker 1: the last scene, he's now trying to get information from her,
31:30
Speaker 1: but she says she's protecting him, and then she asked
31:33
Speaker 1: why he's not bullfighting anymore, and he blames himself for
31:35
Speaker 1: Austin's death and do do Google alert? Are you ready? Yes?
31:40
Speaker 1: I did not know what bullfighting was. I pictured like
31:44
Speaker 1: a Spaniard with a little red flag like toro toro, right,
31:50
Speaker 1: that is a bullfighter, but a bullfighter also in bull riding.
31:57
Speaker 1: Excuse me. According to Wikipedia, the primary job of the
32:01
Speaker 1: rodeo bullfighter is to protect a fallen rider from the
32:04
Speaker 1: bull by distracting it and providing an alternative target for
32:08
Speaker 1: the bull to attack, whether the rider has been bucked
32:11
Speaker 1: off or jumped off.
32:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, haven't you seen like where they kind of
32:15
Speaker 2: look like a clown or whatever and they, yeah, come out.
32:18
Speaker 1: I just didn't realize that was called a bullfighter, and
32:20
Speaker 1: I also didn't realize that was his role. Yeah, so
32:23
Speaker 1: they were like, let's give him all the information anyway.
32:26
Speaker 1: That's why he's not doing it anymore because he feels responsible,
32:29
Speaker 1: got it, got it?
32:30
Speaker 2: Yes, he does feel responsible for Austin's death because I
32:34
Speaker 2: guess he didn't jump in there quick enough to distract
32:38
Speaker 2: from how.
32:38
Speaker 1: Much there's a bull weigh two thousand pounds. I know
32:41
Speaker 1: it's not a perfect system exactly.
32:44
Speaker 2: The next thing, we're at the ropin room, and I
32:46
Speaker 2: think it's called the rope and room because the outside
32:49
Speaker 2: exterior said the rope and Room. And then when they
32:52
Speaker 2: we go inside, Tough is on stage playing in his band,
32:56
Speaker 2: but the sign behind them says something about the rodeo.
32:59
Speaker 2: So I think it's called the ropin room. This bar
33:02
Speaker 2: that they're at, Okay, probably doesn't matter. I don't think
33:04
Speaker 2: it's gonna be like the point, you know, to going
33:08
Speaker 2: home or whatever. People are dancing, Toughs bands playing. Missy
33:11
Speaker 2: walks in and Valeria pops out and says like, thanks
33:14
Speaker 2: for helping with Isabelle and Missy and Valeria kind of
33:18
Speaker 2: like rekindled our friendship here very quickly, or a shot
33:21
Speaker 2: of bourbon.
33:23
Speaker 1: Valeria then pulls Cash onto.
33:24
Speaker 2: The dance floor, and mean girl Janine comes up to
33:28
Speaker 2: Missy and she starts talking about Cash dancing with Valeria,
33:32
Speaker 2: and then cute guy Gus swoops in to save Missy
33:35
Speaker 2: from this conversation and they start to dance. Valeria and Cash.
33:39
Speaker 2: We get a scene between them and they're talking about
33:41
Speaker 2: Missy and Valaria says to him like, basically, you better
33:46
Speaker 2: make your move on Missy before it's too late. And
33:50
Speaker 2: right after this, some dude hits on Tough, you know,
33:53
Speaker 2: like some fan from the stage mentions, you know, hey
33:56
Speaker 2: used to be like in the rodeo or whatever. We
33:59
Speaker 2: need more guys like you. This is about representation here
34:04
Speaker 2: in this scene.
34:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they flashed on that guy a couple of
34:08
Speaker 1: times in the audience. Oh yeah, prior to him approaching.
34:13
Speaker 1: They flashed on him clearly a couple of times. And
34:18
Speaker 1: there is an actor named Vasilios Philipacchus who plays a
34:22
Speaker 1: character named Julian Carros, who I think this might My
34:26
Speaker 1: guess is this is not the last we're going to
34:27
Speaker 1: see of this guy, Okay, is what I'm saying.
34:32
Speaker 2: We see Janine. She asks Cash to dance and he
34:35
Speaker 2: declines so polite.
34:37
Speaker 1: Politely I thought, but it pisses her off.
34:40
Speaker 2: And then she tells him a secret she had heard
34:42
Speaker 2: from JB. And it's pretty obvious that she's referencing Missy
34:47
Speaker 2: and the whole test shoot thing for the genes and
34:50
Speaker 2: all of that.
34:51
Speaker 1: Yeah. Cash then approaches Missy and I gotta say, these
34:55
Speaker 1: two have a ton of chemistry, fall into this like
35:00
Speaker 1: slow dancing position that feels so natural, and I just look,
35:04
Speaker 1: I'm into it. I gotta say. I mean it's complicated,
35:07
Speaker 1: but I'm not not into it. He seems not okay,
35:10
Speaker 1: Missy can tell, and he starts saying, I never liked
35:12
Speaker 1: writing as a child. I only did it because Austin
35:15
Speaker 1: did it. But he says he rides like he's got
35:17
Speaker 1: nothing to lose, and now it's really true because she's
35:21
Speaker 1: leaving apparently, and he burns. She says it's too hard
35:24
Speaker 1: to be here, and he talks into her hair. She
35:27
Speaker 1: gets really close and it's really intimate. I don't know
35:30
Speaker 1: if you noticed. I did not, and he says, you're
35:33
Speaker 1: just scared and scene I'll go back and watch it.
35:36
Speaker 1: Like they fit together really nicely. I'm fit together really nicely.
35:41
Speaker 1: Like the level at which he's able to talk. At
35:43
Speaker 1: the hair moment, I just bo okay, I'm riding for
35:49
Speaker 1: Bow at this point, Oh, you're riding for I like it.
35:53
Speaker 1: I like it. I think that should be already this week. Yes,
35:58
Speaker 1: I love it.
36:00
Speaker 2: And next thing we see Isabel. She's on the phone
36:02
Speaker 2: talking about selling the ranch. So this must be the
36:05
Speaker 2: idea that Hank was going to give her. Valaria hmmm, no,
36:11
Speaker 2: just putting those together. Yeah. Valeria over here and confronts
36:17
Speaker 2: Isabel and she says, I I have other ideas, other
36:21
Speaker 2: than selling the ranch that can help save it, and
36:24
Speaker 2: she talks about like farming ideas, but I mean that's
36:28
Speaker 2: as far as it goes, and then Isabelle agrees, just okay.
36:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, Missy and Valaria pull up to the rodeo. This
36:37
Speaker 1: is like the longest rodeo ever and even though I
36:40
Speaker 1: know it's just a weekend, and Missy tells Valaria she's
36:43
Speaker 1: leaving for Houston and she's ready to go. But right
36:46
Speaker 1: in this moment, Tough runs up and he's like Cash nos,
36:48
Speaker 1: And so they run over and Cash is clearly in
36:51
Speaker 1: a state. No one wants him to ride like this
36:53
Speaker 1: when he's not focused. Earlier, Tough had said he knew
36:57
Speaker 1: something wasn't right with Austin when he rode his final ride,
37:00
Speaker 1: and nobody wants Cash to go in and write a
37:03
Speaker 1: ball when his head is not fully in the game.
37:06
Speaker 1: They say he's got something to prove. He says he
37:08
Speaker 1: has something to prove. He says it should have been him,
37:11
Speaker 1: and Isabelle gets really in his face. She says she
37:14
Speaker 1: won't watch him do this, and Tough wants him to
37:19
Speaker 1: give up too, but since he knows he won't, Tough
37:21
Speaker 1: comes back on as his Bullfighter.
37:25
Speaker 2: So I gotta say I thought Nancy Travis was great
37:28
Speaker 2: in this scene when she grabs him by the shirt, like,
37:31
Speaker 2: I thought that was quite moving. Agree, I thought that
37:36
Speaker 2: was good. And then actually in that moment I was like,
37:41
Speaker 2: I was like, I really like that. Homework now has
37:44
Speaker 2: two series with like this lead metriarch right, who are
37:50
Speaker 2: like bad bitches.
37:52
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, I kind of enjoying it.
37:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, Anyway, the announcer comes out, I guess that's Hank
38:00
Speaker 2: right is hand announcing Cash too. Cash is prepping to ride,
38:03
Speaker 2: but he's got a lot of anxiety, a lot of anger.
38:07
Speaker 2: You can tell he's like not his head's not in it.
38:11
Speaker 2: Missy jumps in and she gives him this pep talk
38:13
Speaker 2: and Cash mentions here that it would be fitting to
38:17
Speaker 2: die the same way that Austin and his dad had died.
38:20
Speaker 2: I said it earlier, like this is the first time
38:22
Speaker 2: that we hear that his dad died this way.
38:26
Speaker 1: Missy.
38:26
Speaker 2: He does a good job at hyping him up. He rides,
38:29
Speaker 2: he makes it to eight seconds and then he gets
38:31
Speaker 2: thrown off and everyone's excited.
38:33
Speaker 1: He gives Missy a huge hug.
38:36
Speaker 2: They come out of the arena and GBI's there to like,
38:39
Speaker 2: I'm interested in you, now let me sponsor you. And
38:43
Speaker 2: then Tough and Isabel are happy and they everybody's happy.
38:47
Speaker 2: That cash did the job well.
38:49
Speaker 1: But JB says, if you do that again in Cheyenne
38:52
Speaker 1: in five months, then we can talk. Oh I miss
38:56
Speaker 1: that part, but he's not quite ready. He's like, in
38:58
Speaker 1: half a year, if you can replicate this experience, they
39:02
Speaker 1: have some of my money, my bad.
39:04
Speaker 2: And now Cheyenne like they.
39:08
Speaker 1: Brooks Sauce, uh huh beaches of cause doesn't. Isn't that
39:13
Speaker 1: song about a bull rider who does not come home? Yes?
39:18
Speaker 1: It is. Yeah. The key here to me, Yes, that's
39:21
Speaker 1: a great reference is that maybe they've bought some time
39:25
Speaker 1: before needing to rely on JB's money. So they've got
39:28
Speaker 1: this like countdown is on make money their own way.
39:32
Speaker 1: I see, Oh, I see hmm. But also I was
39:35
Speaker 1: like five months it's a long time for this failing farm.
39:37
Speaker 1: They need his money sooner than that. Well, you know,
39:39
Speaker 1: it's so funny.
39:40
Speaker 2: I'm like, could it go the way of Ozarks where
39:42
Speaker 2: they're planting poppy seeds and then selling heroin.
39:45
Speaker 1: I doubt that's what's gonna happen. On this show.
39:48
Speaker 2: You know, it's all these other shows are emerging together
39:51
Speaker 2: now to this Sark show.
39:53
Speaker 1: So outside, we see a shot of Missy, Tough, Cash, Valeria,
39:58
Speaker 1: and the unnamed ranch hand and walking together, and in
40:01
Speaker 1: the background we see the bearded dude from earlier in
40:03
Speaker 1: this episode looking on. Valeria is clearly nervous by him.
40:08
Speaker 1: He's got something to do with our secrets, but we
40:10
Speaker 1: don't know what. Mm hmm. Eric Church is hard on
40:12
Speaker 1: fireplays in the background, and that scene cuts.
40:15
Speaker 2: Out, and then our final scene of the episode. Isabelle,
40:19
Speaker 2: Valeria and Missy are riding horses through the ranch and
40:23
Speaker 2: they're talking and she tells them she wants to fight
40:27
Speaker 2: for the ranch, but she can't do it alone. And
40:30
Speaker 2: here she lays the guilt on real thick to Missy
40:32
Speaker 2: about staying on as Cassh's coach, and I'm going to
40:37
Speaker 2: tell you that being a brand ambassador and being a
40:40
Speaker 2: coach you can do both. Dumb anyway, It was a
40:45
Speaker 2: real change of tone, I thought from isabel here, because
40:50
Speaker 2: earlier in the episode she's like, you don't have to
40:52
Speaker 2: stay here. But then she sees how well Cash reacts
40:55
Speaker 2: to Missy's pep talk and then she's like, you need
40:57
Speaker 2: to stay on as his coach. Well, we're never going
40:59
Speaker 2: to get this messy, you know what I mean? Yes,
41:03
Speaker 2: And then she tells the two of them that she
41:05
Speaker 2: needs them and basically like asks them to do this
41:08
Speaker 2: life together as a family.
41:10
Speaker 1: Also, I want to say, from the brand Ambasater's standpoint,
41:12
Speaker 1: if you are a denim brand that is in the
41:17
Speaker 1: rodeo scene, wouldn't be best to sell your jeans while
41:20
Speaker 1: someone is actively working in the rodeo, Like, look at
41:23
Speaker 1: what she's wearing while she's coaching this prize winning bull
41:25
Speaker 1: rider one hundred percent not standing in a studio.
41:30
Speaker 2: Let me ask you, what do you think the whole
41:33
Speaker 2: mystery is with Valaria?
41:34
Speaker 1: Do you have any idea? None. I'm not good at
41:37
Speaker 1: guessing that sort of thing. Me neither.
41:39
Speaker 2: And at first I was like, Oh, she's pregnant. She's
41:43
Speaker 2: pregnant with Austin's baby, and that's why she was gone
41:45
Speaker 2: for a year to have this baby. But I don't
41:47
Speaker 2: think that's the case now because she moved back. I
41:49
Speaker 2: doubt that's the kid.
41:50
Speaker 1: But I wonder what her secret is, what's Austin's secret.
41:54
Speaker 1: I know we've got another show. Look I don't want
41:56
Speaker 1: to spend all season comparing these two shows. But we've
41:59
Speaker 1: got kind of three women at the core of this show. Again,
42:03
Speaker 1: we've got some secrets. Yeah, I have to say overall,
42:07
Speaker 1: pilots are rough. I enjoyed this one and it left
42:10
Speaker 1: me looking forward to more.
42:12
Speaker 2: I will say that I, well, I have to watch
42:17
Speaker 2: it for this, but I don't know.
42:20
Speaker 1: If you don't know, if you keep going, I don't know. Okay,
42:25
Speaker 1: it's got some work to do.
42:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, it's not like The Way Home. I
42:29
Speaker 2: love the Way Home after the first episode. Same And
42:32
Speaker 2: I know, like you said, we don't want to compare
42:35
Speaker 2: the two, but yes.
